Burner Grates

Porcelain enamel burner grates should
be washed regularly and, of course,
after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. You may also use abrasive
cleaners and steel wool pads to clean
burner grates. Dry the grates with a
cloth—don't put them back on the
cooktop wet.
To get rid of burned-on food, place
the grates in a covered container.
Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let them
soak several hours or overnight.
Wash, rinse well and dry.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. This finish is acid-
resistant. However, any acidic foods
spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or
vinegar) should not be permitted to
remain on the finish.
Stainless Steel Surfaces
Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch
the surface.
To clean the stainless steel surface, use
warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner
®
such as Kleen King , or an all-purpose
liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub
in the direction of the grain. Rinse
thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and
clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.
Although they're durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of
the best care you can give them. This is
due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
(on some models)
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a
dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away.
When the surface has cooled, wash with soap
and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings,
wash with soap and water or cleansing
powders after the surface has cooled.
Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
(on some models)
After cleaning, use a stainless steel polish,
such as Stainless Steel Magic
Copper and Stainless Steel Cleaner
Wenol All Purpose Metal Polish
